Grandma June and Grandpa Dick are learning

We are learning to use my new computer...do we look troubled?

Ryker Lee Beaman

How about this handsome Great Grandson. Ryker was born on April 15, 2011 and he has joined Matt and Melinday Beaman and Dad and Mom and Ryker are all doing quite well. Many family members are anxious to hold this new baby and many of us will when Ryker is blessed in June 2011.

Easter Time in California

Here is Katie with Michael on Katie's 18th birthday.

Greats of Grandma June and Grandpa Dick

Here is a wonderful Great Grandchild born to Dan and Carrie Elder and Uncle Mike is quite taken with this new nephew.

Becca Escoto (Bellevue Granddaughter)

Well another wonderful surprise from sweet Becca Escoto on the 20th of Feb. 2011 and my it was a very much needed pleasant surprise. We were able to get caught up with

Becca and her life and her family in Bellevue. We miss the Escoto family very much and we are always so very happy when they come to Draper to visit us. Main reason for Becca to come here (besides seeing us) she was here with her best girl friend Kari White (sp?) who is getting married the end of March. Exciting

time for Becca who will be the maid of honor. Thanks for coming to visit Grandpa and me.

A few more picctures of Dave and Michele's visit to Utha

I loved the visit from Dave and Michele and we were all able to be with each other (siblings) while they were here. Much fun.

Dave had Karen help him with my surprise visit from him and Michele and it worked 100 % I did not know one thing about this visit to Utah. These two can surprise me anytime they want...Love happy Mom

Dave and Michele suprised their parents

Well as you can see our kids and their spouses and dad Elder is with his sons and son in-law we had a great time with our children.

Karen was in on the little secret about Dave and Michele flying in to Utah and surprising us. I was having lunch with Karen at Kneaders and in walked Dave and Michele and boy was I surprised. I had to think for a minute or two if all of this was real. When I finally came to my senses I was thrilled to see Dave and Michele. We hadn;t seen them since we moved the end of August 2010 and so was a big deal to me, the Mother.

Each day of Dave and Michele's visit was filled either with friends or family and they left yesterday (the 19th of Feb.) to head back to Washington. Good time and lots of hugs to lift our spirits until they come again and hopefully the wait won't be as long till their next visit.
